Message: [QUOTE="Fireball Jr., post: 3330625, member: 404"] Pete Weber's a hoot. His old man, Dick, had mad game, too. Nice guy, at least to Fireball Jr. when he was covering sports for the daily rag in the PBA's hometown, Akron, in the '70s. The PBA was pretty popular back then, had nice Nielsen numbers for its Saturday afternoon finals on ABC with Chris Schenkel, Billy Welu, Nelson Burton Jr. This trip down memory lane reminds me of a really nice, sweet man from Syracuse, Marty Piraino, who I did a piece on one year when he made it onto national TV for the finals. Reminded me of guys my old man bowled with here in Rochester.
